Abstract
An engine block includes a crankshaft, and is enclosed by a sheath. Sealing elements connect the sheath to the engine block and insulate against structure-borne sound. A flywheel is non-rotatably connected to the crankshaft at one end of the engine block. A power train housing is disposed at that end of the engine block and includes a flywheel housing which accommodates the flywheel. The flywheel housing is rigid with the engine block and forms a unit therewith. The sheath encloses the engine block on all sides and defines an oil chamber around the engine block. The sealing elements consist of rings provided at opposite ends of the engine block. The unit is carried by and connected to a support by elastic elements which insulate against structure-borne sound.
